Students become curious when they recognize agap in their knowledge and seek to resolve this uncertainty [1]. When students are curious abouta topic, their learning better generalizes to new material and contexts [2]. Both the classroom andthe

Thepaper also discusses the measures that could be taken to better the students’ emotions, so as tooptimize productive practice effect.IntroductionAlong with the profound changes of human society, economy, science and technology sincethe 21st century, newer and higher requirements are constantly proposed for engineering andtechnical personnel’s quality through the integration and complexity of engineering. There isan urgent need for the modern higher engineering education reform and development tofoster high-quality engineering and technical personnel with innovative spirit and practiceability. This will be needful in satisfying the requirements

methodological, technological, and objective [74]. It is a field thathas been mostly established by White men who have decided what is engineering and who getsto participate [74]. There is also no recognition to different epistemologies and solutions toengineering problems, and designs are thought to be race and gender free [59]. In the UnitedStates, engineering has seldom been framed as a social justice profession and, as Cech hasargued [75], ideologies of depoliticization and meritocracy held by many engineers make itextremely difficult to frame the profession in such a way. Instead, engineering is framed aspurely objective, meritocratic, and composed of rigorously-constrained problem solving [75].While “improving society” is part of many definitions
